Are the Brakes on a 1.6 Driver supposed to be same as GTI?
i.e. are the disks supposed to be vented or solid? if solid, then the caliper is different isnt it?

I know the Drivers have drum brakes on rear.

same size as the 8V gti aren't they?? the difference being the pads and discs are different widths;

can't remember if the pads are thicker and discs thinner or the other way about

So you mean the Driver has narrower disks (solid) and thicker pads, and GTI has wider disks (vented) and narrower pads?
